Title: A true story
Post by: Nick on April 30, 2008, 08:11:13 AM

A mate of mine is married to one of the experts on the Antiques Roadshow. He sent me this yesterday:

Last Saturday, she was there when the BBC were recording an edition of Antiques Roadshow at Ascot racecourse.  At one point a large scruffy-looking bloke appeared and took out from a plastic bag an unusual antique match-striker.  The following conversation then occurred:

 

x:  Oh, that’s interesting.  Where did you find it?

 

Man:  Well, I was digging in a pig sty, and had got down about five feet when…

 

x:  A pig sty!?  Are you a farmer?

 

Man (looking puzzled):  No.  I was just digging in a pig sty, as you do….
